It was further gathered that before approving the transfers, the attorney-general of the federation, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, had written to the Federal High Court, citing the Court Rules for a transfer of the cases from the Port Harcourt Division to its Abuja Division.

 

Our correspondent was unable to ascertain what would be the fate of some of the cases that had already commenced hearing in the Port Harcourt Federal High Court, such as Dr. Farah Dagogo v President and 4 others (Suit no FHC/PH/ CS/50/2025), among others.
